Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona − Match preview
This should be an interesting one. Barcelona are second in the league but they have not been playing well. At all.
A forward line comprising Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez looks incredible on paper, but in reality it has been a complete mess. Dembele has been ruled out of tonight’s clash (and about 10 more weeks of fixtures) with the umpteenth injury of his Barca career, but this may prove to be a blessing in disguise for the Blaugrana.
They’ve been getting away with playing poorly all season, and it surely won’t last much longer. ‘Give it to Messi’ seems to be Ernesto Valverde’s only plan, but the Argentine is so good that through his sheer individual brilliance he often makes it work.
But if anyone can stop Messi, surely it’s a team coached by Diego Simeone.
Atleti have also underperformed this season, having spent big in recent transfer windows. Astonishingly, they’ve won just one of their last six games, but they could jump from fifth to third with a victory tonight.
Though they’ve been typically solid at the back, they’ve struggled to score goals all season. However, they’ll be boosted by the return of star man Joao Felix, who’s been out of action since October. If he’s fully fit, he could cause Barcelona some serious problems.
